Abstract
- A case report is presented of a 20 year old patient with an acute promyelocytic leukemia. The presenting symptom was a macrohematuria caused by a consumption coagulopathy. Consumption coagulopathy has only been observed in acute promyelocytic leukemia in contrast to other coagulopathies in acute leukemia. The clotting disorder was successfully treated by administration of urokinase.
